Bike still looks in good nick and I had decided after battling with Parisian traffic at 5Pm that round the world on a Vespa would have been better... Come to thinkof it!!!! http://photos.fotango.com/p/eba00546291f00000004.jpg Can't remember where this was, Alpine France I think, but I like the picture! http://photos.fotango.com/p/eba00546291f00000005.jpg Rough track near Troy, Turkey http://photos.fotango.com/p/eba00546291f00000006.jpg Blasting across Eastern Turkey! 1500 miles in 2 days!!!!
